“Overcome fear with faith”With Nalanie June 3rd-7th
Dear All,
Please let me tell you about this special workshop coming up!
Nalanie will be giving a workshop from June the third till the seventh in Yogaville, called “Overcome fear with faith”.
There are several very interesting speakers invited and it promises to be an intense week in this beautiful environment.
The Ashram of Yogaville was founded by Nalanie’s beloved master Sri Swami Satchidananda and includes the beautiful lotus temple: The Light of Truth Universal Shrine. Open to all faiths to meditate and pray using the universal symbol of light of the Divine.
This is the first shrine ever built to house altars for every major faith and also faith less- known and those not yet known.
"More people have died in the name of God and religion than in all the wars and natural calamities. But, the real purpose of any religion is to educate us about our spiritual unity. It is time for us to recognize that there is one truth and many approaches. The basic cause for all the world problems is the lack of understanding of our spiritual unity. The need of the hour is to know, respect, love one another and to live as one global family. Our humble aim in building the LOTUS is to spread this message."
—H. H. Sri Swami Satchidananda, founder of LOTUS

Euro Reunion
Euro Reunion will be in Italy in May or June 2011.
It is planned to be in Germany in 2013 and the UK have asked to be the hosts in 2015.
And a Euro Council centre heads meeting every year.
Padma confirmed her retirement as Euro Co-ordinator. Swamiji thanked her for her service in that role for the past 8 years.
Ashram Ambassador to Europe
The whole of the European Council made it known that everyone felt extremely grateful to Swami Asokanandaji for his help over the past few years and that his energy and enabling support had really helped Europe to move forwards together.
Swamiji spoke about different people who could fulfil that role. Different Council members then expressed their belief that Swami Asokananda will be the right person to take us to the next level.
The European Council then voted on the appointment of the Ashram Ambassador to Europe. There was a unanimous vote for Swami Asokananda to take that role forwards and include Europe in his global vision for Integral Yoga.
